Any clues on what is happening with libraries? Check out @PeterBazalgette's Tweet: https://twitter.com/PeterBazalgette/status/344422386008997889 He seems up for the change and there seems to be a void. My local library is getting an 'uplift' and it would be great if it was not completely windows. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

HP (was EDS), IBM, Computacentre, Fujitsu, Capita, CapGemini Until very recently this was true. The prequalification questions on any major procurement through the Official Journal of the EU basically ruled out anyone other than the big boys. And we paid for it by the lorryload of money. However the Government Digital Service (the people behind Gov.UK) are leading a revolution that is putting most of the new IT contracts into the hands of SMEs through the G-Cloud framework. They're also making us redesign all the public facing transactional services using agile methodology to make them user centred and rapidly improved. So the landscape is changing, albeit by waiting for the big long term contracts to run out. Disclosure: I'm an enterprise architect in a government agency and directly responsible for engaging with GDS on our digital delivery. I'm also trying to get our desktop replacement to be open source software on a linux base. -- James Kemp see Alexander at http://www.ajkemp.org/gallery/ or my games at http://www.full-moon.info/ free science fiction ebooks https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/jameskemp -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
